KING.KRIMSON.-.IN.THE.COURT.OF.CRIMSON.KING

In the Court of the Crimson King (an observation by King Crimson) is the 1969 debut album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. The album reached #3 on the British charts. The album is certified gold in the United States.

The album is generally viewed as one of the strongest of the progressive rock genre, where King Crimson largely stripped away the blues-based foundations of rock music and mixed together with jazz and European symphonic elements. In his 1997 book Rocking the Classics, critic and musicologist Edward Macan notes that In the Court of the Crimson King "may be the most influential progressive rock album ever released".The Who's Pete Townshend was quoted as calling the album "an uncanny masterpiece".

The album was remastered and re-released on vinyl and CD several times during the 1980s and 1990s, although all these versions were based on masters that had some inevitable tape degradation. The original first-generation stereo master tapes were finally located in a Virgin Records storage vault in 2003, leading to a much improved remastered CD version released in 2004 and a surround sound mix to be released in 2009 for the album's 40th anniversary.

The album consists of five long songs. Most of these have additional titles given to sub-sections. This was done not to reflect actual divisions in the music but to ensure that the group would receive the full amount of song writing royalties from their music publisher and record company. With the sub-sections included the album can be seen as having a full 12 songs, the typical number for a standard rock album. Since the album was made new rules have become standard in the music publishing business which take into account the length of the songs as well as the number of titles on an album.

BEFORE.YOU.DIE.PART.44.-.VANGELIS.-.HEAVEN.AND.HELL

Heaven and Hell, released in 1975, is the fifth solo album by Greek electronic composer and artist Vangelis. It got worldwide recognition through the use of "Movement 3" as the theme for the television documentary series Cosmos.
The album has classical overtones, occasionally branching into ethnic themes, in contrast with the progressive rock on both the previous and the following albums, Earth (1973) and Albedo 0.39 (1976) respectively. Vangelis would return to classical style work ten years later, on Mask (1985).
This album also marked the first collaboration between Vangelis and Jon Anderson, on "So Long Ago, So Clear", which would continue more fully a few years later.
Heaven and Hell reached number 31 in the UK album charts in January 1976.
Track listing
The audio CD has two tracks:
1. "Heaven and Hell (part one)" – 21:58
o includes "So Long Ago, So Clear" – 4:58
2. "Heaven and Hell (part two)" – 21:16
Older pressings of the LP had a more elaborate track listing (in parenthesis, even more details):
Part One:

o "Bacchanale" – 4:40
o "Symphony to the Powers B" (Movements 1 and 2) – 8:18
o "Movement 3" (from "Symphony to the Powers B") – 4:03
o "So Long Ago, So Clear" – 5:00
Part Two:

o "Intestinal Bat" – 3:18
o "Needles and Bones" – 3:22
o "12 O'Clock" (in two parts) – 8:48
o "Aries" – 2:05
o "A Way" – 3:45
"So Long Ago, So Clear" is not to be part of the overall album concept but rather a bonus track, for which reason was singled out in the minimal CD version of the track listing. "Movement 3" is also known as "Theme from Cosmos".
Personnel
• Vangelis - synthesizers, Bösendorfer grand piano, percussion, arrangements
• Jon Anderson - vocals on "So Long Ago, So Clear"
• Vana Veroutis - vocals on "12 O'Clock"
• English Chamber Choir, conducted by Guy Protheroe

ROY.HARPER.-.BULLINAMINGVASE

This album is one of Harpers most polished recordings, featuring a rich mix of musicians and instruments, including the Vauld Symphony Orchestra (named after the Hereford farm Harper owned and recorded in at the time). Brilliant lyrics, as 'clear' as Harpers guitar playing, make this a stand out album from Harpers back catalogue. The current CD release (Science Friction HUCD021) has been remastered with SNS 20-bit digital supermapping, allowing the 'full texture' of the music to be appreciated.

One of the albums highlights is the epic, 19 minute, "One Of Those Days In England (Parts 2-10)" (originally side 2 of the album). Comprising several musical movements, this song is a collection of reminiscences from both a personal and cultural perspective. Harper sings of "Britannica and all those who sail in her, especially those with Albions cultural heritage claws..."

Originally the album contained the song "Watford Gap" which contained somewhat disparaging lyrics "...concerning the Watford Gap service station, a motorway service area situated between junctions 16 and 17 of the M1 Motorway, near Watford Gap, in Northamptonshire, England". "Watford Gap, Watford Gap, a plate of grease and a load of crap" sang Harper.

"Subsequent pressings omitted the song at the behest of an EMI board member who was (also) a non-executive director of Blue Boar (the owners of the service station)..."

Under duress, Harper replaced the controversial track with "Breakfast With You", a song Harper himself allegedly described as "pap".

With the re-print of Bullinamingvase, Harvest Records included a promo "single". The tracks included were:

Side A – "Referendum (Legend)" / "Another Day" (Live Version)
Side B – "Tom Tiddler's Ground"
Another promo release on the Harvest label (SPSR 408), contained the tracks:

Side A – "One Of Those Days In England" / "Watford Gap"
Side B – "Naked Flame" / (Extract from One Of Those Days In England) - "Mrs Space"
"Watford Gap" was finally restored to the 1996 re-issued CD, and "Breakfast With You" closes that CD.

1977 Harvest Reprint:

Side One
"One Of Those Days In England" – 3:25
"These Last Days" – 4:26
"Cherishing the Lonesome" – 5:54
"Naked Flame" – 5:06
"Breakfast With You" – 2:42

GOING.FOR.THE.ONE.by. YES

Going for the One is the eighth studio album by British progressive rock band Yes. It was released in 1977 after an extended break for solo activity, and is especially notable for marking the return of keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who had departed in 1974 in the aftermath of the Tales from Topographic Oceans tour. His re-entry was facilitated by the departure of Patrick Moraz, after having only played on Relayer, although Moraz is thanked in the credits.
After their extended break, the band regrouped in Switzerland, refreshed and ready to record in late 1976. The album was recorded at Mountain Studios by recording engineers John Timperley and David Richards. After constructing epic tracks for the last few years, Yes felt inspired to scale things back a bit and recorded some of their most direct and concise material since Fragile. Wakeman also varied his sound by largely forsaking his mellotron and experimenting with church organ on "Parallels" and the sole extended track, "Awaken".

1. "Going for the One" (Jon Anderson) – 5:32
2. "Turn of the Century" (Jon Anderson/Steve Howe/Alan White) – 7:56

CAPTAIN.BEEFHEART.&.MAGIC.BAND.-.TROUT.MASK.REPLICA

Trout Mask Replica is the third studio album by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, released in June, 1969. The album was produced by Frank Zappa, a friend and former schoolmate of Beefheart, and was originally released on Zappa's Straight Records imprint. Combining blues, avant-garde, free jazz and other disparate genres of American music, Trout Mask Replica is regarded as an important work of experimental music and a major influence in alternative rock. A widely recognized and acclaimed composition, Trout Mask Replica appears at number fifty-eight on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

The compositions on Trout Mask Replica draw their inspiration primarily from blues and free jazz but also include elements of genres ranging from folk music to the current avant-garde of classical music to sea shanties and beyond. All this was blended into an iconoclastic whole of conflicting tempi, harsh slide guitar, extraordinarily complex drumming, and honking saxophone and bass clarinet. Van Vliet's vocals range from growling blues singing to frenzied falsetto to laconic, casual ramblings. His lyrics often seem impenetrably strange and nonsensical, but closer examination reveals complex poetic use of word play, metaphor and all manner of references: music history, American and international politics, the Holocaust, love and sexuality, Steve Reich, gospel music, conformity, and man's impact on his surroundings.

The famous BBC disc jockey John Peel said of the album: "If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art in a way that people who are involved in other areas of art would understand, then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work." Peel's playing of the record on late-night radio in Britain was largely responsible for its reaching 21 in the UK charts.

Critic Steve Huey writes that the album's influence "was felt more in spirit than in direct copycatting, as a catalyst rather than a literal musical starting point. However, its inspiring reimagining of what was possible in a rock context laid the groundwork for countless experiments in rock surrealism to follow, especially during the punk/new wave era." Matt Groening has written that his first reaction to Trout Mask Replica was that it was "the worst thing [he]'d ever heard", but now lists the album as one of his favorites. In his 1995 book, "The Alternative Music Almanac", Alan Cross placed the album in the spot on the list of '10 Classic Alternative Albums'. In 1995, Mojo put the album 28th on their "The 100 Greatest Albums Ever Made" listand 51st on their "The 100 Records That Changed the World" list

HONI.SOIT.by.JOHN.CALE

Honi Soit is a 1981 album by John Cale. All songs were written by Cale, except "Streets Of Laredo", a traditional song arranged by Cale.
Andy Warhol suggested the album should be called "John and Yoko." The musicians on this album are listed as the crew of fighter airplane, with Cale as the flight surgeon.
The album's title is an abbreviation of the phrase "Honni soit qui mal y pense" (French: "shame upon him who thinks evil of it"), the motto of the British Order of the Garter. The spelling of the word "Honi" is old French, it would nowadays be spelt "Honni".
The album is Cale's only album to date to chart in the US, reaching #154.

EGBERTO.GISMONTI.-.CIRCENSE

De família musical, começou a estudar piano aos cinco anos. Ainda na infância e adolescência, seus estudos no Conservatório já incluíram flauta, clarinete, violão e piano. Em 1968, participou de um festival da TV Globo com a canção "O Sonho", que atraiu a atenção do público e elogios da crítica. Partiu nesse mesmo ano para a França, onde estudou música dodecafônica com Jean Barraqué e análise músical com Nadia Boulanger.

Em 1969, lançou seu primeiro disco, Egberto Gismonti, com forte influência da Bossa Nova. O álbum, hoje cult, acabaria sendo uma de suas obras mais acessíveis, dado que, nos anos 1970, Gismonti se dedicaria a pesquisas musicais e experimentações com estruturas complexas e instrumentos inusitados, voltando-se quase exclusivamente para a música instrumental.

A hesitação das gravadoras brasileiras com o seu estilo o levou a procurar refúgio em selos europeus, pelos quais lançou vários álbuns pelas décadas seguintes. Gismonti explorou diversas avenidas da música, sempre imprimindo o seu interesse pessoal: o choro o levou a estudar o violão de oito cordas e a flauta, a curiosidade com a tecnologia e a influência da Europa o levaram aos sintetizadores, a curiosidade com o folclore e as raízes do Brasil o levaram a estudar a música indígena do Brasil, tendo mesmo morado por um breve período com índios yawaiapiti, do Alto Xingu.

A carreira de Gismonti prosseguiu sólida - se não comercialmente explosiva - e o artista continuou gravando seus álbuns e participando de discos alheios, além de fazer turnês de sucesso, especialmente na Europa. Entre os músicos com os quais colaborou ou colaboraram com ele, destacam-se Naná Vasconcelos, Marlui Miranda, Charlie Haden, Jan Garbarek, André Geraissati, Jaques Morelenbaum, Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira e Flora Purim.

Gismonti nos anos 80 recomprou todo o seu repertório de composições e tornou-se um dos únicos compositores do país donos de seu próprio acervo. Ele relançou parte de sua discografia pelo seu próprio selo, Carmo. Muitos músicos vêm gravando suas composições recentemente.

KRAFTWERK.-.TRANS.EUROPE.EXPRESS

Trans-Europe Express (released in German as Trans-Europa Express) is the sixth studio album by German electronic band Kraftwerk
Kraftwerk's sound developed further on this release. Their music is distilled into a song format more than ever, with strong classical melodies. Much use was made of custom-built sequencing equipment, which helped Kraftwerk achieve the precise, minimalist pop sound distinctive of the album. The equipment in question, the Synthanorma-Sequenzer, had previously been used in its standard form by other synthesizer musicians, such as Klaus Schulze (on his 1975 album Timewind) and Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream. Kraftwerk's, however, was a special version created specifically for them by Matten & Wiechers in conjunction with Ralf Hütter.
This enhanced "Kraftwerk-sequenzer" allowed precise control of voltages over a range of 10 octaves, eliminating the need for the time-consuming tuning of pitches; it also enabled the exact reproduction of complex or lengthy pre-determined patterns – such as the keyboard arpeggios in "Europe Endless" and "Franz Schubert" or the driving train-like rhythm of "Trans-Europe Express" – at precisely measured clock speeds, combined with the ability to easily and quickly modify them. The instrument greatly improved Kraftwerk's recreation of their music in performance, whereas previously everything would have had to be played by hand.

Album cover
The colour English and monochrome German/French versions of the cover are deliberately evocative of the pre-war era, with the use of heavily retouched studio portraits in the style of film-star publicity photos; the inner sleeve of the original LP featured a photo of the group posed in a mocked-up terrace cafe scene, with a background of a mid-European landscape of mountains and lake painted by Emil Schult
